I've always hated Christmas, but this year will be different, because this year, Santa Claus is jingling me all the way.
♥♥♥ When Holly wakes up on Christmas Eve to find an intruder in her home, she does what anyone else would; grabs her replica medieval broadsword and sneaks downstairs to deal with him.
But he isn't a burglar. He wears a big red coat, big brown boots, and his big round belly shakes like a bowl full of jelly. He's Santa Claus. He's thick. And he's HOT. What begins as a simple misunderstanding, develops into a passion Holly never knew she needed, with a man who knows her every want and desire. But Holly has a secret, one she can't ever let Claus discover; the true reason she hates Christmas.

Last year, I discovered that Santa themed erotic romances are my jam. I don’t know why but they really just work for me. This one is sweet and sexy, tender and filthy and just hit all my personal sweet spots in regards to the kink. I loved the two MCs and I loved that while it was exceptionally hot, it was also moving and poignant, with Claus and his eternal loneliness and Holly and her guilt/grief.
CW: parental death in the past, death of spouse in the past, feelings of guilt, grief and loss, emotional trauma
hetero erotica still isn't my thing, and i never would have read this without the insistence of a friend (the same friend who made me read birthday girl, incidentally). but wow, i don't regret this.
somehow this santa-fucking book is silly, sexy, sweet, and never takes itself too seriously. it jumps right into the smut, but actually becomes tender and heartfelt as the story progresses. it's also funny as hell, and strikes a really good, lighthearted balance. very fun!!
Listen, I have no idea what I just read but I'm so here for it.
This was fun, ridiculous, a little bit cheesy, and also hot as hell. I love how it didn't take itself too seriously—the puns and Santa jokes had me snorting. It managed to be silly and sexy at the same time, a little bit bizarre and larger than life, and totally unselfconscious about it. I'm kind of obsessed with it, honestly. What a wild ride. (Ha. Sleigh pun. Also... you know.)
SANTA CLAUS IS GOING TO TOWN ON ME was cuter than it was erotic for me. I don't quite know what all that says about me, but there you go. I've decided that after reading two Santa smut books in a week, if your main character is not named "Holly" then you're doing it wrong. Not sure why that is the name of choice, but 2/2 books can't be totally wrong, huh? And magical Santa in this gives Holly all the Kringle tingles as he stuffs her stocking and coats her with peppermint goop. I kind of laughed near the end where he pulls out a striped condom... he's ACTUAL magic and has candy cane flavored spooge but then decides to put a rubber on? I don't buy this, Claus! There are a couple of intense scenes where Holly really is out here trying to ruin my childhood, especially when her mother comes to visit, meets Claus, and he says "he came for Christmas and re-arranged her plumbing" when asked who he is. Oh, silly Santa... you've got puns, huh? Overall this was a fast, fun story... but again it was a little whimsy magical (like The Santa Clause - she even gets a snow globe to shake when she needs him) more than naughty, coal-gettin' erotica. It could have probably been about 20-30 pages shorter in that regard. But, again, 'tis the season for ho ho hos and Santa smut!
Sveikos, (k)literatūrinės kekšės 😘✨️🎄🎁. Oficialiai atidarau šventinės aukštos meninės vertės literatūros sezoną!!! Iki Kalėdų skaitysiu tik tokią literatūrą, tad iš karto atsiprašau intelektualų – jūsų smegenys kraujuos, bet ištversit, jūs, mazochistai 😘. Ta proga jums pristatau M.L. Eliza ir Marie Lipscomb šedevrą „Santa Claus Is Going To Town On Me“. Ar kada nors svajojot pasigvaltavot su Kalėdų Seneliu??? Jei ne, tai kas su jumis negerai?? 🙄
Knygos istorija pasakoja apie merginą Holę, kuri Kalėdų rytą savo namuose aptinka šventinį įsilaužėlį – vienintelį diedą, kuris atėjęs į svetimas valdas negautų baudžiako – KALĖDŲ SENELĮ 🎅. Tarp jų – aistra, chemija, biologija, bet ar paprasta mirtingoji gali gyventi su Kalėdų seniu? Ir kur dingo jo žmona ponia Kalėdų Bobutė???? 🤨
Kalbant apie kliteratūrinį aspektą, gvaltavonių knygoje buvo daug ir įvairių. Vienų metu Holė net pradėjo levituoti 😎.
Išsamią knygos apžvalgą reelso formatu rasite mano instagrame / tiktoke: u.caspo 🫡
These books make me question how much more creative smutty Christmas can get. Unlike others, the writing was pretty good, I would probably read a non Christmas book from this author. If Santa is your thing, this book will give you “kringle tingles” 😆
Ho Ho Holy Christmas! Stern Christmas daddies are officially my new favorite heroes, especially when those Christmas daddies are in fact Father Christmas.
The amount of highlights on my Kindle right now... I can't even. The magic, the mistletoe, the magical mistletoe (if you know, you know)… There's a lot to love about this erotic romance novella. I give the author a lot of credit for creating the lore surrounding this particular version of Santa, without overloading us with exposition or explanations. This is my second Santa erotica in two years and I'm hoping this is just the beginning of a new Santarotica trend.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ for this naughty boy

So original. I really enjoyed this! Very unpredictable. Where was this going? Fantasy with a generous amount of steam. Sexy Santa. I believe. Great short read. First person POV. Heroine is Holly. I read this through KU. Would be so fun as an audio. *hint hint*
Character Chemistry: Instant attraction, plus Santa has a special power where he knows your desires *eyebrow waggle*
Plot: Holly hates Christmas, but she’s definitely going to bone Santa when given the chance
Overall: Sexy rumpus that’s surprisingly thoughtful and legitimately touching
Sometimes, I just want a romance novel that’s ridiculous—I’m looking for pure entertainment. So when I had the opportunity to read a Santa romance with a ridiculous title, written by an author who focuses on writing big, bearded heroes, how could I pass it up? Plus, the heroine is named Holly.
Santa Claus Is Going to Town on Me definitely delivers in the pure entertainment department. A lot of the plot is Holly having sex with Claus (rhymes with “house”), with special help from a Santa-magic sex toy. And the author is clearly having a lot of fun imagining the parameters of Santa’s powers, and how they might impact his sex-life. For example: he changes size to be the size he needs to be at a given time (that’s how he goes up and down chimneys), which means that…he can grow as needed to give maximum pleasure. It’s just really fun.
But this book isn’t all ridiculousness. Holly also has to navigate what it means to have a relationship with a possibly immortal not-so-mythical person who can hear her every desire. I found the desire bit in particular really interesting: Claus hears all of her desires, all of the time—he can’t control it or turn it off. So sometimes Claus oversteps, because he wants Holly to be happy. For example, he gives her house a magic makeover so that it matches what she wants it to be…without talking to Holly about it first. And he’s constantly checking in with her about him staying around, because even though he can hear her desires, even that is not so clear cut.
He says: “I can hear your desires, yes. But I can’t hear your reservations, your doubts. And I may not be human and I may live thousands of miles away from humans, but I know that often desire and doubt tangle. Wants can be complicated.”
Wants can be complicated indeed—even in magical situations where your fantasies can easily be fulfilled. The care that Claus takes (and the emotional heft of Holly’s revelation about why she hates Christmas) meant that this book surprised me. There was more to it than I was expecting based on the premise.
Come for the fantasy of having sex in Santa’s sleigh; stay for the emotional connection.
I voluntarily read and reviewed a complimentary copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own. We disclose this in accordance with 16 CFR §255.
one of the weirdest thing i read this year ☠️ idk this was cute but i wish she could be immortal suddenly...it was sad to think she will die soon my christmas spirit died a little at that thought 😔
this book was a trip. santa’s dick can change sizes?? his cum tastes like peppermint??? he can make SEX TOYS for christmas??????? SANTA HAS TO WEAR A CONDOM????????? this book is not for the weak, its for the ho ho ho’s.
some of my favorite quotes: “God, he’s a stern Christmas daddy.” “is that the sack?” “today I’m just counting down the seconds before I get that Santa dick” “wondering if I have enough time to shower before he jingles me all the way.” “Ho… ho… holy fuck” “Santa Claus is absolutely going to town on me” “This is it. I’m going to see his Santa cock.” “Of course he has a massive sack.” “I can smell myself on him, the scent of my arousal tangled with the scent of peppermint hot chocolate.” “keep riding that rock-hard curvy candy cane.” “Whenever he comes his jizz smells like peppermint, and now, I want to lick that candy cane.”
honorable mention for “Ffffuck.” which was said not once, but TWICE in this book.
2 stars because it definitely made for a rich night of entertainment but i think i read a lot of things i cant unread that i would like to forget about. this book will be haunting my dreams for a few days and i will never be able to see santa claus the same again 🥲
Okay so the thing is, this was great. You’ll definitely be reading it like ‘what in the actual fuck is happening’ and slowly you’ll start shifting into ‘well that’s fucking adorable’ and let me just tell you I was unprepared.
I really wasn’t expecting this to be so damn cute, the title and the cover do not do it justice. I might have even almost teared up.
I’d definitely compare it to a paranormal romance. Santa in this case is basically just a hot as fuck immortal dude with sweet ass magic powers and peppermint cum. He’s also got the sweet naivety that I love to see when magical creatures come to earth and they don’t entirely know how mortals function. It’s very cute.
And our main girl has a deeply sad backstory that like actually made me feel things. Again, unexpected.
And it’s also super hot. There’s a magic sex toy he made especially for her and maybe even sleigh sex. 🤣
Seriously though, if you’re into an utterly absurd Christmas novella that has a surprising amount of heart, then you should read this cause I had a blast.
This 97 page novella has everything. Come for the cocoa tasting kisses, the peppermint fa la la and lots of kringle tingles. Stay for the space travel and an immortal being that knows what you really desire and grows to whatever size you need him to be... Go ahead, get your mind in the gutter. I'll wait.
This absolute banana pants of a novella is pretty much exactly what I needed at the end of a long year. Delightful, funny, pun-filled, giggle through while also super into it romp of a read.
3.5⭐️… OKAY BUT HEAR ME OUT: not a read that I intended to like. For a gag gift though? The name actually undermines THE ABSOLUTE WORLDBUILDING this novel did. Surprising for a book that only had like 150 pages. We got to see an alternate universe, a workshop, a full home decoration episode. What a banger.
This book is both a perfect gag gift and yet also slays, minus the creepy title and if you, in fact, imagine Santa Claus to be the one and only Klaus Michaelson fanfiction. I hope Kaity enjoys this book as ironically and unironically as I do
Honestly, I expected just a little bit of a Christmas smut and that's it but the author actually was able to fit in some interesting plot and a backstory in between of all the hanky-panky. SO for that, I'm rounding up.
Good writing, Sata can hear all of your wants, he can change sizes, lives in a different dimension and his candy cane tastes like peppermint. He's also more of a traditional Santa and not the hot six-pack type we get in other novellas. BUT he's the heroine's dreams come true.
as far as christmas gifts go, i have to say this is probably on of my favourites. big shoutout to ellie for the annotations that really added to the adventure we went on. was i slightly traumatised? probably. however, re-reading this may have to become a new christmas tradition
